York Archaeology’s research strategy sets out our priorities. We work with research communities to:

  • Develop frameworks
  • Collaborate with universities on AHRC– and EU-funded projects
  • Support access to our collections
  • Publish monographs on our archaeological investigations

Research Frameworks

York Archaeology works with partners to shape future research. Our strategy highlights the key areas we are focusing on.

Social History

These projects explore the everyday lives of people in the past and present. This helps us better understand their experiences.

The York Collection

For more than five decades we have recovered archaeological evidence through excavation, revealing the lives of people in York’s past.

Collections Research Projects

We work with researchers at every level - from our in-house specialists to collaborators across the region, the UK, and beyond.

Our University Collaborations

We partner with universities in archaeology, education, museum studies, and public history, developing research and sharing discoveries.

Archaeology of York Publications

The Archaeology of York Web Publication series presents key excavations and research carried out by York Archaeology since the early 2000s.
